El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is a game that is founded on tried-and-tested gameplay mechanics – namely precision Platform action and scrolling beat-‘em-up style combat – but adds its own flavour to every aspect. It will feel familiar in that of control, but the visual depiction and fine tuning of the conventions certainly make the game feel fresh. Playing as Enoch, players are in pursuit of a clutch of fallen angles, ascending the Tower of Babel in the hope of preventing a great flood wiping-out all of mankind.
